Complaining about this rule, that rule and blaming others isn't helping. It's not a difficult request to not say 3-4 curse words, not troll, bash or flame and to back claims with proof. The rules have been in effect for years and won't change because there are people who can't discuss fictional characters in a semi-rational manner. For all the griping, there are still several hundred posts to over a thousand posts per day in the Comic Vs Forum. So yeah, if this forum stays open there won't be any heavy modifications of the rules or format.

There are forums where it's a free for all with no rules. There are also pro Marvel and pro DC boards where nobody will call people on BS as long as it's in favor of the favored company.

As a comic versus. Yeah, but limiting.

The other day, I had the urge of posting Freddy vs. Darth Vader.

Just cant make those kinds of match ups here.

We'll see what happens I guess. I'm mad that the Tourny/Battlezone sub-forum and the off site anything vs forum a few of us mods were pushing for may now be in the drain along with this forum.

Yeah, your not so subtle accusations are part of the problem.

Again, personal responsibility. You know accusations are frowned upon. You know to PM a mod with proof or concerns. But still we have this sort of thing happening. So.....

That is a good thing about herochat. You can also post all kinds of anime fights as well.

I say we PM eachother methods of bypassing bans, and start trolling the other forums in the event they close down this board.

But that's just me. (or is it?)

Whatever happens I vote that we spend the rest of our time here in a civil manner, no beef or bickering just fun debating without insults and stuff. DC or Marvel lets just have some fun with our remaining time be it a week, month or year.

But how can you really expect people to behave in a rational manner if you're also telling them it's a free for all with no rules? It's like sticking 50 people in a room and saying "Yeah you guys can drink and party and do whatever you want in here... just don't fight" and expecting them to go along with it. Things go great right up until they don't, and then all Hell breaks loose. There are just too many people here who can't even agree on the basics, and there's no real accountability for those who enjoy acting like an ass as they straiten up before their 50th warning so of course there's going to be a truckload of problems.

I understand it's not on you and pr because you guys aren't in charge of what constitutes "Ban-worthy", but it seems like some of the other Mods are being a little unreasonable in assuming that a forum with 4 times as much traffic as any other forum on KMC will function well under the same set of rules/standards as the smaller forums. It's like being outraged because a rural area grows into a Metropolis and has to pass more traffic laws to account for the expansion.
